What forms a disaccharide?

A disaccharide is formed when 2 monosaccharide's condenses in water. A disaccharide is essentially just a carbohydrate that is formed when a small molecule is eliminated.


What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?

A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)


What is larger a monosaccharde a disaccharide or a polysaccharide?

1-3 largest to smallestPolysaccharde (It's a long chain of monosaccharides)Disaccharide ("Di" is Greek for 2. It's made of 2 monosaccharides)Monosaccharide (simple sugar like glucose, galactose, or fructose)


What do complex carbohydrates breakdown into?

simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more


How many carbohydrates are there in coconut water?

there three types of carbohydrates 1- monosaccharide 2-disaccharide 3- polysaccharide


How does a polysaccharide differ from a disaccharide?

A polysaccharide is a complex carbohydrate made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked together, while a disaccharide is made up of two monosaccharide units linked together. Polysaccharides are larger molecules and are used for energy storage and structural support, while disaccharides are smaller and are primarily used for energy transport.


What monosaccharide is starch composed of?

Starch is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide, as it is a polymer of many sugar units. A disaccharide would contain just two units (for example, sucrose).


What is the composition of maltose?

The composition of maltose is 2 glucose units. This is because glucose is the 'primary' composition in a monosaccharide and maltose is found in Disaccharide, which is the 'secondary' composition. ~Geek


Is sugar made up of glucose?

It can be. Glucose is a monosaccharide so is composed of one unit. There are disaccharides and polysaccharides too, which are made up of 2 or more units. (There is also a group called oligsaccharides.) Fructose is a monosaccharide. Glucose + fructose = sucrose (a disaccharide). Try typing in monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide and polysaccharide into Wikipedia.


What is the ratio between the number of hydrogen atoms and the number of oxygen in a disaccharide?

The ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in a polysaccharide is independent of the type of monosaccharides that it consists of. The ratio does not depend on the number of carbons in the monosaccharide. Thus, for all polysaccharide compounds the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.


What is the monosaccharide of sucrose?

No. Sucrose is a disaccharide and is formed from two monosaccharides bonded by a glycosidic linkage. The two monomers or monosaccharides that form sucrose or table sugar are glucose and fructose.


What are two monosaccharides that will make the disaccharide sucrose?

Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
